2 WHAT IS THE K to 12 REFORM ABOUT? Republic Act or The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 was signed into law in 2013, and is the flagship education reform program of the Aquino administration. It covers kindergarten (K) and 12 years of basic education (six years of elementary, four years of junior high, and two years of senior high school) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills. The additional two years of SHS decongests the curriculum and focuses on mastery, while minimizing need to review basic subjects in college.

3 K to 12 TRANSITION: The Higher Education Perspective 3

4 Investing in the Future of Higher Education The CHED K12 Transition Program College 1 College 2 College 3 College The transition period begins this June 2016, as a result of the full scale implementation of Senior High School, leading to multi-year low enrolment in colleges nationwide. Based on the study conducted by CHED, the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), and the UP Population Institute, across the 5 years, about 13,274 teaching (12% of total) and 10,464 non-teaching (18% of total) personnel may be displaced. It is a five (5) year program aimed at providing support to higher education institutions and personnel during the transition period. 4

5 For DISPLACED Personnel (Estimated 25,090 teaching and non-teaching staff) DepEd Green Lane DOLE Adjustment Measures Program At least 30,000 new teachers and 6,000 new non-teaching staff will be needed for SHS per year in 2016 and DepEd will establish a Green Lane to prioritize and fast-track the hiring of displaced HEI personnel, matching them in terms of location and salary. DOLE will offer the following to displaced employees who do not or cannot transfer to SHS: Income support Employment facilitation Training and livelihood For RETAINED Personnel CHED K to 12 Transition Program CHED to provide opportunities for upgrading qualifications and income support to personnel and HEIs (as a result of lower salaries because of reduced enrolment), inclusive of: Scholarships for Grad Studies Instruction, Research & Sectoral Engagement Grants SHS Training Packages Innovation Grants for Institutions 5

6 Investing in the Future of Higher Education The CHED K to 12 Transition Program To provide support to higher education institutions and personnel during the 5-year transition period, CHED has designed a comprehensive range of developmental programs that both mitigate impact on labor and upgrade quality of Philippine higher education, to ensure the smooth and successful transition to K12, as mandated under RA Scholarships for Graduate Studies Instruction, Research & Sectoral Engagement Grants Innovation Grants for Institutions 6

7 1. Scholarships for Graduate Studies Scholarships for Graduate Studies The transition presents a rare opportunity to upgrade our faculty s qualifications as their teaching loads decrease. Main reasons for non-timely completion (CHED FDP-I/II): Masters Heavy teaching loads Recalling by home institutions Low awareness on scholarships PhD Difficulty in disbursing money Lengthy application process Low stipend rates* Professional Advancement *Due to substitute assistance of P13k/month, or for NCR scholars TARGET: 14,774 Faculty and Staff for graduate studies from 2016 to ,921 Masters 6,853 PhDs

8 In 2000, the Philippine Commission on Education Reform (PCER) targeted for 70% of all HEI faculty to have graduate degrees by If all permanent faculty were to pursue their next higher degree, budget would be about P54.3 Billion. 8

9 Scholarships for Graduate Studies and Professional Advancement CHED constituted a Technical Working Group (TWG) for Scholarships for Graduate Studies and Professional Advancement to formulate the policies in relation to scholarships for graduate studies, as well as the criteria for delivering HEIs with the following members: Co-Chairs: Members: Dr. Ben Malayang (Silliman University) Dr. Ester Garcia (University of the East) Dr. Miriam Pascua (Mariano Marcos State University) Dr. Karen De Leon (Misamis University) Dr. Dolly Brawner (for ALCU) Dr. Sukarno Tanggol (MSU-IIT) Fr. John Young (Father Saturnino Urios University)

10 The Supply Side Process undertaken to inform policy design: Consulted Technical Panels and Committees through a series of workshops (July-August 2015) Consulted NEDA Regional Directors to integrate discipline and regional perspective in scholarship prioritization Meetings with DOST to explore possibility of benchmarking scholarship rates and stipends, etc. Benchmarked with PCARI rates Collated feedback from Private HEIs and from SUC workshops Mapped out regional priorities vis-a-vis current availability of graduate education providers for said programs by region through analysis of internal data Given the existing and proposed DHEI eligibility requirements, there will NOT be ENOUGH HEIs to deliver graduate programs.

12 CMO Nos. 3 and 4, Series 2016 Released last January 13, 2016

13 CHED Memorandum Order No. 4, S. 2016: Guidelines for Graduate Education Delivery for Faculty and Staff Development in the K to 12 Transition Period

14 Highlights of CMO 4, s for Graduate Education Delivery Expands policies for Graduate Education delivery to include Joint Degree Programs and Graduate Education Consortia, based on existing practices and MOAs. Proposes accreditation and faculty requirements that are different from existing (with emphasis on availability of quality faculty, instead of accreditation levels). Streamlines process for (1) existing FDP DHEIs, and (2) for Single HEI providers that are either Autonomous, Deregulated, Center of Excellence, or Center of Development. Includes mobilization support and financial assistance to incentivize the establishment of quality programs in regions where identified priority programs are not existent.

15 Types of Graduate Programs according to number of delivering HEIs Single HEI Program Off-Site Program Jointly-Delivered Degree Program Consortium-Delivered Program Single HEI is the conventional delivery of a graduate program, through one HEI that meets the requirements set by CHED. DHEIs of Single HEI Programs may opt to deliver the program in a host HEI (HHEI) in another region by sending faculty to the HHEI, to increase access in areas that may lack DHEIs. Two HEIs may jointly develop and institute a curriculum for a graduate program, share resources, and issue one diploma signed by both HEIs. Three or more HEIs may develop and institute a curriculum for a graduate program, share resources, and issue one diploma signed by the HEI duly assigned by the Consortium members. Modes of Delivery according to the medium employed in delivering the program Face-to-face Distance education Blended learning

16 1A. Single HEI 1B. Off-Site* 2. Joint Degree 3. Consortium** Accreditation Requirements (This refers to accreditation in the corresponding undergraduate degree program) If autonomous or deregulated, hold at least a Level II accreditation or higher If NOT autonomous or deregulated, hold at least a Level III accreditation or Center of Development At least 1 must meet accreditation requirement in 1A. HEIs must meet, JOINTLY, faculty requirement in 1A. At least 2 consortium member HEIs must hold at least a Level II accreditation Faculty Requirements (HEIs must maintain 1: 5 graduate faculty to student advisee ratio) For masteral programs: At least 1 teaching faculty (doctoral degree holder, published) and at least 3 faculty with MA in related discipline For doctoral programs: At least 3 teaching faculty (doctoral degree holders, published) At least 3 teaching faculty (same criteria) At least 5 teaching faculty (same criteria) Others 1. Library - requirements for undergraduate programs + subscription to at least 2 peerreviewed professional journals or internationally refereed journals, and at least 5 titles of graduate reference books on specialized disciplines in every subject offered. 2. Laboratory - requirements for undergraduate programs + research facilities or equipment in basic sciences, instructional laboratories for coursework, as needed, and extensive information technology facilities that will allow for internet access. 3. Research - must have a funded research activity in the corresponding field, and must have an established research ethics board (for consortium, at least one should meet requirement). *Demonstrate capacity to deliver in an off-site mode; Must have necessary infrastructure for hosting program. **Other member HEIs need not be accredited, but they cannot be the one that grants degree; each member HEI must be able to endorse at least 1 teaching faculty.

17 Mobilization Support & Financial Assistance for Approved Delivering HEIs Administrative support equivalent to no greater than 5% of total cost of tuition and other fees of all CHED-funded faculty scholars Grants for the development and/or operation of graduate programs given on a by-proposal basis, including but not limited to: 1. Program Development Grant, to cover mobilization costs for the establishment of graduate programs in any type; and to encourage partnerships with industry, or with another HEI whether in the Philippines or abroad, to increase relevance and strengthen capacity of programs to support local and national growth. 2. Visiting Professorship Grants, to cover costs of bringing in a guest lecturer from another HEI, whether in the Philippines or abroad, to enrich instruction and encourage mobility of faculty. This shall be included by the HEI in the Work & Financial Plan for the program.

18 Information Sessions for Delivering HEIs for Graduate Education Information sessions were conducted by the PMU to encourage qualified HEIs to take part, as well as to respond to queries.
